- The Midnight Road (Chords)

The Midnight Road
written 2005-2006
CAPO I
INTRO: Bm
Bm Em A Bm
Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town
Bm Em A Bm
I fell into a ring of doubt, somehow I got turned around
A Em Bm
Demons from Hell descended on me
A F# A Bm
While somewhere in the dark a devil chortled with glee
Bm Em A Bm
Whistlin' a tune under my breath, heard it on the radio
Bm Em A Bm
Spelled death for me in a melody, the words whispered soft and low
A Em Bm
Blood lay in a puddle in the road
A F# Em Bm
Skeletons rattled in my closet way back home
CHORUS:
A E
The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road
Em Bm
Lined with broken bottles and pots of gold
A E
The Midnight Road, the Midnight Road
Em F# Bm
Saints behold I'm walkin' the Midnight Road
Bm Em A Bm
Lost in the shadows cast by the fire, I'm a lonely forgotten man
Bm Em A Bm
Whiskey on my breath I can taste my tears, Lord help me understand
A Em Bm
Was surrounded by angels, woe what has happened to me
A F# Em Bm
The rattle of chains, a voice whispers son you're free
CHORUS
Bm Em A Bm
Tempted by fate, tossed by the sea, blown by the winds of time
Bm Em A Bm
Howl to the Moon and He answers back, His voice like the finest wine
A Em Bm
No way to go when you can't turn back
A F# Em Bm
Signpost ahead it says son you're way off track
CHORUS (2x)
Bm Bm Em A Bm
Strollin' along the Midnight Road, somewhere south of town
